Zusammenfassung:Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to a dual spatial pattern prefetcher are described. In one embodiment, a prefetch circuit is to prefetch a cache line into a cache from a memory by tracking page and cache line accesses to the cache for a single access signature, generate a spatial bit pattern, for the cache line accesses for each page of a plurality of pages, that is shifted to a first cache line access for each page, generate a single spatial bit pattern for the single access signature for each of the spatial bit patterns that have a same spatial bit pattern to form a plurality of single spatial bit patterns, perform a logical OR operation on the plurality of single spatial bit patterns to create a first modulated bit pattern for the single access signature, perform a logical AND operation on the plurality of single spatial bit patterns to create a second modulated bit pattern for the single access signature, receive a prefetch request for the single access signature, and perform a prefetch operation for the prefetch request using the first modulated bit pattern when a threshold is not exceeded and the second modulated bit pattern when the threshold is exceeded.
